Nanoscience and Microsystems Research

The University of New Mexico Nanoscience and Microsystems program bridges the distinct properties of the nanoscale to microsystem functionality. The integrated academic and research activities highlight our capabilities and unique breadth in materials synthesis and self-assembly, nanolithography, interrogative platforms, and functional micro/macrosystems. Special emphasis is placed on translating these technologies to radical changes in the way we diagnose, treat and ultimately prevent cancer. The Nanoscience and Microsystems Program highlights three technical thrusts: Informational Nanotechnology, Nano-Bio Interfaces and Complex Functional Systems. The program requires that Nanoscience and Microsystems fellows complete a curriculum of integrated courses.
